Yamaha YDP-143 Arius Digital Piano Matte White

Part of the Yamaha Arius family, the Yamaha YDP143 offers an authentic piano feel and sound which is ideal for any aspiring pianist. The keyboard is the GHS (Graded Hammer Standard) which means that the keys are weighted just as they are on a real grand piano. The keys are a slightly heavier feel at the lower end of the keyboard and graduate to be slightly lighter at the the higher end. The YDP143 uses Yamahas superb 'Pure CF' sound engine which ensures that you hear a very high quality sound of the Yamaha CFIIIS concert grand piano. The piano also features 'Damper Resonance' which recreates the acoustic piano's depth of tone whilst pedaling. There is an all new reverb effect which allows you to sound as though you're playing in a variety of environments and with 192 note polyphony available, you won't be experiencing note 'drop off'. The YDP143 is also equipped with 'Half Pedal', whereby the sustain is gradual depending upon the position of the pedal and you can record your performance with the 2 track recorder.

The YDP143 also boast 10 great sounds, from piano, digital piano to strings and organ. A built-in song library of 50 preset songs is also accompanied by a book which also contains the sheet music for you to play along with or practice. Connectivity is taken care of with the dual headphone sockets and the USB-Host connection to allow you to connect up to your DAW.

What we think...

A really great piano for anybody who's either starting out or is a seasoned performer, the YDP143 doesn't fail to impress. The piano is nice and compact and being available in a choice of finishes (Rosewood, Black Walnut or White) it's guaranteed to look good in any environment. The piano tone is very rich and detailed and the half-pedal feature really gives added control over your performance.

The new Arius YDP-143 digital piano gives you an authentic acoustic piano touch and tone perfect for any aspiring pianist. The popular Graded Hammer Standard (GHS) keyboard action helps build up finger technique and strength for an easy transition to playing an acoustic piano.

The improved Pure CF Engine delivers an expressive, high resolution recreation of the incredible Yamaha CFIIIS concert grand piano, whilst Damper Resonance digitally recreates depth of tone when pedalling and newly improved reverb spatial effects help bring to life the feeling of playing in a variety of different environments.

With its huge 192-note polyphony, many of the most complex piano compositions can be played without any fear of dropped notes.

Piano sound quality only possible from Yamaha

The Pure CF Sound Engine is the result of many years of piano-making history and expertise, combined with state-of-the-art sampling technology. Yamaha is the industry leader in digital piano technology, and this is evident when listening to Yamaha digital pianos that utilize the Pure CF Sound Engine. The sound of the renowned Yamaha CFIIIS 9' concert grand piano is faithfully reproduced, allowing for incredible dynamics and expressiveness, making Pure CF-equipped digital pianos worthy of the Yamaha name.

Superb playability and feel

A Graded Hammer Standard (GHS) 88-key piano keyboard provides a heavier touch in the low end and lighter touch in the high end, and is similar to the hammers inside an acoustic piano. GHS is great for the aspiring pianist, because practicing with the GHS action builds proper finger technique for playing on an acoustic piano. Additionally, the matte finish of the black keys makes them less slippery when playing for extended periods of time.

Pedalling provides an added level of realism

Half-damper pedal control creates more detailed nuance and subtlety when playing, similar to pedalling on a grand piano. This feature allows for continuously increasing lengths of sustained notes, from slight to full, as the sustain pedal is depressed.Stereo Sustain samples provide mellow reverberations when the player depresses the damper pedal. Similarly, Damper Resonance provides broad and deep resonance when the pedal is used. The result is more realistic sound, similar to that of an acoustic piano. It is possible to detect the subtle changes that occur when the players begins to press the pedal while striking a key.

A piano with its own classic repertoire

The Yamaha digital piano is pre-loaded with a variety of classic piano songs for listening and learning pleasure. Players can use the accompanying book, 50 Greats for the Piano to follow along with the music and learn how to play iconic pieces. They can also play back the songs to enjoy these recognizable piano favorites. This feature is sure to add hours of enjoyment to this terrific instrument.

Capture your performance

The recording function built into the instrument allows players to record performances* with a single touch. Additionally, players can record up to 2 tracks for simultaneous playback, meaning that both hands can be recorded separately, or allowing them to overdub with different voices.

* Recordings are made in Standard MIDI file (SMF) format. Compatible software is required for playback of the recorded data on a computer.

Access your favourite features quickly and easily

The Digital Piano Controller app with an attractive interface optimized for iOS touch screens adds a whole new level of functionality to your Yamaha instrument. Turn your iOS device into an intuitive instrument controller, allowing you to access features and settings even more quickly than using the panel of your instrument. Adjust settings, choose Voices, and even record performances. Once you try it, you'll never want to live without it!

Discover an inspiring combination

Combine two Voices together, like piano and strings, for an inspiring new playing experience. Nothing livens up piano practice like playing a piece with a different sound, and creating unique combinations of two sounds together. Experiment with these combinations to discover inspiring new sounds.

Optimal tone at any volume level

With the Yamaha exclusive Intelligent Acoustic Control (IAC) feature, people can enjoy playing their digital pianos at a lower volume in a quiet home environment. Before IAC was introduced, playing at a low volume resulted in a loss of treble and bass. With the addition of IAC, the instrument automatically adjusts the balance of bass and treble, creating a truer sound with more depth. Additionally, the volume dial automatically makes fine adjustments to the overall sound of the speaker system (EQ) when played at a low volume. This ability to retain a rich and balanced sound on the digital piano, regardless of volume, ensures the highest sound quality.

Full tone built right into the cabinetry

Yamaha developed this new technology with an in-depth knowledge of the acoustic properties of musical instruments. Acoustic Optimizer delivers naturally smooth tonal richness across the entire keyboard by regulating the flow of sound and control of tone from the cabinet of the instrument.

A new kind of headphone experience

The Stereophonic Optimizer is unique to Yamaha. When playing and listening to the instrument using headphones, the Stereophonic Optimizer adjusts the spacing of the sound and the separation from the piano, resulting in a spacious, surround sound quality that will inspire you to play for hours at a time. Within this private listening environment, the sound of the piano can be perceived to come from the body of the instrument rather than from the headphones, providing a more realistic and natural experience.

Connect and interact with your instrument

A standard USB cable can be used to connect the instrument to a computer or mobile device, opening up a world of creativity, entertainment, and education. iOS devices can be connected to the instrument using the Yamaha UD-BT01, or the Lightning-USB Camera Adaptor. The instrument can be used to interact as a controller and/or sound source with a variety of music creation applications.
